My Thoughts: (Updated 3/2022)
Off the bat I’m going to call this a NEIGH for myself. While the map is pretty, the AI of the aggressive animals and of the main ‘foe’ type creatures = clunky AF. I’m also not a fan of the ‘human-bear hybrid’ look, though I have to admit at least it’s something unique for the genre. And frankly, there’s not a lot to do – though he’s adding stuff over time.
However. I didn’t refund it.
The Developer is very passionate about his project, frequently posting updates to both Discord and Steam news. Also, this video is adorable/endearing. I’m hoping he’s able to continue to work on the game, he hasn’t posted since Feb of 2022 but he was working on implementing multiplayer, which is a huge pain in the ass. But frankly his determination is commendable- fuck, I wish I could pull it together enough to make a survival game. It takes a lot of guts. And hopefully buying a copy of the game helps out. I’m just going to rate this neutral- it may be something you pick up to try out.
